Barnard helped me to do what I already knew I loved – dance – but also helped me find new loves I never knew through the Nine Ways of Knowing.

Barnard and the Nine Ways of Knowing allowed me to explore my interest in French, English and Politics. I love Barnard because it was my childhood dream to attend college in New York City.

Since tuition only covers 75% of the true cost of a Barnard education, we rely on gifts from you to help fill this “gap” every year. You can help students directly through gifts to Barnard's annual fund, which support scholarships and financial aid, student instruction, housing, dining services, health and counseling services, research, administrative functions in the College’s central offices, academic support, instructional technology, admissions and career development.

We’d love to hear why YOU give to Barnard's annual fund. Please share your reason for giving back and we may feature you on our website!
